Kidney Problem Or Wat??
Posted: 01-02-06 10:48am

Last 2 years I was admitted into hospital due to excessive alcohol consumption.. I was vomitting blood, but then I was released the same night without further medical check up.. I never knew the reason cos the docs didn't tell me much.. So I assume its either because my throat burned and when I had excessive vomitting, I ended up tearing it and puke blood or something is wrong to my liver. My frens said the blood is kind of fresh and ive vomitted at least a few glasses of it. My body then started to rejecting whisky by then where i'll vomit even when I smell it.. I believe is because when ur body is terrible hurt at one time, they kinda create a defense to reject it.. Thats why I can vomit easily.
I then drank back after a months and I still drinks heavily..
Today, I woke up and when I urinated.. I felt the whole procedure of starting, middle and ending is burning. It even lasted a while after I stopped but the following urinating only burns when im ending it.
I dont know whether this is std or uti. I heard uti can be due to kidney as well..
By the way, I havent had a sex partner for atleast 2 years.. So, std shouldn't be the choice eh?
Neway.. I need some advice on why am I experiencing this.. Please help..

Men can, and do get urinary tract infections. Just not so common in men, as with women. That is what it sounds like to me. And untreated uti can cause kidney infections, then you will have pains in low to mid back area. You will feel nauseas. With fever and chills possibly

if it is kidney or urinary tract, you need to drink lots of water, cranberry juice is good too, and refrain from soda's and alcohol. Atleast til you feel better.

Thanks!

So u were saying that im most likely to have uti?
And my liver shouldn't be the reason of me experiencing this eh? Is liver and kidney somehow connected? Cos both of them kind of works as a filter and cleanser right?
I was thinking like maybe my liver cannot really cleanse off the solution then when it gets to my kidney, it kinda affects it cos maybe its too acidic or somehow.. Then maybe tats why im suffering when I urinates?That shows im having uti..
Is this possible? Sorry.. Im not much into medical stuff & body..

By the way.. Wat can cranberries do? Why is it helping?

Yes, in my opinion, I am sure it can come from liver, to kidney to bladder. If for some reason you have bad bile floating around inside of you from the liver. Are your eyes yellow, is your skin yellow??

Extreme liver funtion failure causes skin and eyes to change to a yellow, instead of brown, or "white"

but in this case you would be really really sick, and you would know it.!!!!


Drinking is bad for the liver, and if you were puking blood probably bleeding ulcer from the alcohol. Sign to quit. (not trying to tell you what to do--and I judge no man, I am just saying this is when a lot of pple quit!!)or like you said, bleeding from puking.


So , I still think it is a uti. My opinion. You should get it checked out need antibiotics for the bacteria. Cranberry juice is an anti-oxident. Cleans you out. All the way to the blood it cleans you out. Heart patients are suppose to drink it every day. Kidney disease and kidney infections suppose to drink it. Uti suppose to drink it.

I dont think it is your liver, but I am not a Dr. You need to see one, even if it is just a uti.

Hi,

yes it does appear that your symptoms suggest you are experiencing a urinary tract infection. You need to visit a doctor to get a medical opinion - they will do a simple urinary test, and probably provide you with anti-biotic medication to prevent the infection from spreading.

If your doctor as reason to believe that you have a problem with your liver they can perform a clinical examination to feel if the liver is enlarged (hepatomegaly). They can also perform blood tests which check your liver functioning.

Sometimes if you vomit violently the oesophagus can become damaged and can cause bleeding. - speak to a doctor about this also.

As “fatfamily02” stated – you should drink plenty of water to flush out the bacteria and drink cranberry juice - I think this prevents bacteria from attaching to the urinary organs, (but i’m not entirely sure).

All the best.....

Thanks guys!

Yea, ive seen the doctor already, he said that he'll treat me as in i'm uti first. If i'm not recovering then only he'll check me in more details.. I'm now taking the prescription drugs to kill off the bacteria and pain killers to to ease further pain in my bladder and kidney.
By the way, i'm having fever too after I see the doctor, so I took paracetamol.. I assume that fever is the side effect only eh?

Anyway, hopefully its only uti and nothing further..
